JEHOIACHIN SUCCEEDS HIM. (Kg2 24:8-9)
Jehoiachin--that is, "God-appointed," contracted into Jeconiah and Coniah (Jer 22:24).
eighteen years old when he began to reign--At the age of eight his father took him into partnership in the government (Ch2 36:9). He began to reign alone at eighteen. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| His mother's name - On the position of the "queen mother" see Kg1 15:10 note. Nehushta's rank and dignity are strongly marked by the distinct and express mention which is made of her in almost every place where her son's history is touched (Kg2 24:12; compare Jer 22:26; Jer 29:2). |

| (cf. Ch2 36:9 and Ch2 36:10). Jehoiachin, יהויכין or יויכין (Eze 1:2), i.e., he whom Jehovah fortifies, called יכניהוּ in Ch1 3:16-17, and Jer 27:20; Jer 28:4, etc., and כּניהוּ in Jer 22:24, Jer 22:28; Jer 37:1, probably according to the popular twisting and contraction of the name Jehoiachin, was eighteen years old when he ascended the throne (the eight years of the Chronicles are a slip of the pen), and reigned three months, or, according to the more precise statement of the Chronicles, three months and ten days, in the spirit of his father. Ezekiel (Eze 19:5-7) describes him not only as a young lion, who learned to prey and devoured men, like Jehoahaz, but also affirms of him that he knew their (the deceased men's) widows, i.e., ravished them, and destroyed their cities-that is to say, he did not confine his deeds of violence to individuals, but extended them to all that was left behind by those whom he had murdered, viz., to their families and possessions; and nothing is affirmed in Jer 22:24 and Jer 22:28 respecting his character at variance with this. His mother Nehushta was a daughter of Elnathan, a ruler of the people, or prince, from Jerusalem (Jer 26:22; Jer 36:12, Jer 36:25). |

| To reign - In his eighth year he began to reign with his father, who made him king with him as divers other kings of Israel and Judah had done in times of trouble; and in his eighteenth year he reigned alone. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old - He is called Jeconiah, Ch1 3:16, and Coniah, Jer 22:24. In Ch2 36:9, be is said to be only eight years of age, but this must be a mistake; for we find that, having reigned only three months, he was carried captive to Babylon, and there he had wives; and it is very improbable that a child between eight and nine years of age could have wives; and of such a tender age, it can scarcely be said that, as a king, he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. The place in Chronicles must be corrupted.
That he was a grievous offender against God, we learn from Jer 22:24, which the reader may consult; and in the man's punishment, see his crimes. |

9 Jehoiachin [03078] was eight [08083] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] three [07969] months [02320] and ten [06235] days [03117] in Jerusalem [03389]: and he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068].
25 Nevertheless Elnathan [0494] and Delaiah [01806] and Gemariah [01587] had made intercession [06293] to the king [04428] that he would not burn [08313] the roll [04039]: but he would not hear [08085] them.
12 Then he went down [03381] into the king's [04428] house [01004], into the scribe's [05608] chamber [03957]: and, lo, all the princes [08269] sat [03427] there, even Elishama [0476] the scribe [05608], and Delaiah [01806] the son [01121] of Shemaiah [08098], and Elnathan [0494] the son [01121] of Achbor [05907], and Gemariah [01587] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], and Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Hananiah [02608], and all the princes [08269].

28 Is this man [0376] Coniah [03659] a despised [0959] broken [05310] idol [06089]? is he a vessel [03627] wherein is no pleasure [02656]? wherefore are they cast out [07993], he and his seed [02233], and are cast [02904] into a land [0776] which they know [03045] not?
24 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], though Coniah [03659] the son [01121] of Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] were the signet [02368] upon my right [03225] hand [03027], yet would I pluck [05423] thee thence;
5 Now when she saw [07200] that she had waited [03176], and her hope [08615] was lost [06], then she took [03947] another [0259] of her whelps [01482], and made [07760] him a young lion [03715].
6 And he went up and down [01980] among [08432] the lions [0738], he became a young lion [03715], and learned [03925] to catch [02963] the prey [02964], and devoured [0398] men [0120].

1 And king [04428] Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] reigned [04427] instead of Coniah [03659] the son [01121] of Jehoiakim [03079], whom Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] made king [04427] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063].
